"Sister, where are we going now?"
"Go see an old friend!"
Walking on the street, Nuying looked around and said with a solemn expression: "I suddenly found that I seemed to have neglected one thing!" ”
Qin Huang's expression was stern, and he said, "Isn't it...... Worried that my secret might be leaked? ”
"Did you think of it too?"
Nu Ying glanced at him approvingly and said, "Now you should understand, why did I let you change into this women's clothes and come to the ghost market, right?" Except for the guy who hid from the door, and the master of Chabuti just now, he can't let him see your true identity! ”
"It's a pity that the time is in a hurry, otherwise I should have given you a genetic modification operation and then brought you to this place. Just changing your clothes isn't really safe! ”
The insect man at the door is one of the bigwigs behind the scenes of the entire ghost market, in charge of the issuance of ghost market passes and residence permits, and any foreign wisdom species who want to enter here must deal with it!
And Nuying still has a lot of secret business dealings with it, so she can only woo and appease this guy, and can't get into trouble with it.
Qin Huang said thoughtfully:
"Although that Master Chabuti has collected enough hush money, it is still an alien race after all, and it is still an old remnant of the ghost market, so I am afraid that this credibility is difficult to guarantee, right? If I were in that position, I would have thought of selling this important secret a few more times in exchange for some more benefits! ”
"Maybe it won't be long before trouble comes to us!"
Nuying sighed lightly: "Little guy, you really don't look like a fifteen-year-old child!" This kind of mind is much stronger than some self-righteous bastards in the organization! ”
Qin Huang was silent for a few seconds before he whispered, "Shall we ...... Go back and slaughter that guy? ”
"No way!"
Nu Ying shook her head and said: "Although that guy is not a thing, its ability is still very useful after all, so many big people have tolerated it and lived safely until now." Killing it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction with the storage zài, even with my strength, I can't suppress it! ”
"Besides, in a place like Ghost City, dealing with such a group of walking corpses who are precarious and have no future to speak of, you can't ask too much of their moral standards!"
Qin Huang nodded silently and said no more. Nuying is obviously not the first time she has come back to this place, she has a more measured handle of the affairs here, so there is no need for her to make extraneous troubles.
Melodious and melodious music came, and on a small stone platform on the side of the street, a beautiful girl with purple eyes and blue hair danced in a crimson gauze dress. A handsome young man with purple eyes on the side of the stone platform was holding an unknown musical instrument and was playing it intently.
It would seem, they should be of a race.
Although the music and dance were beautiful and pleasing to the eye, there were not many spectators around, and only a few of the three or five wise people stayed for a short time, expressing limited interest.
“…… This is the orphan of the Holy Shadow Song clan, and they are also two brothers and sisters with royal blood! ”
Nuying explained to him: "When this race was destroyed by the Vrotikol civilization, many of them were sold into slavery because of their generally beautiful individual appearance! Only a handful have escaped to this place! ”
"After all these years, their people are dead! The last time I visited, I had their father's funeral done with my own hands, leaving the brother and sister who were not yet fully grown up and made a living as street performers. ”
Qin Huang only felt a little blocked in his heart, and silently took out a handful of star coins from his body, and was about to walk over and throw them to them, but was stopped by Nuying.
"They don't need this,"
As she spoke, she took out a silver vessel the size of a volleyball from her dimensional space bracelet and handed it to him.
"This is the food I specially prepared for them, go give them them!"
Qin Huang nodded, walked up to them with the utensil, and handed it to the purple-eyed young man.
The girl on the stage hurriedly came down and bowed, and greeted softly: "Thank you, this beautiful sister!" ”
"Huh? You're going to ......."
Qin Huang was slightly startled, this alien girl was not speaking the language of gods, but the human language with correct words.
The boy stood up and greeted gracefully, explaining, "It was this female sister behind you who taught us!" It is because of her help that we are able to establish ourselves here! ”
When I first arrived in the ghost market, there were still more than 100 remnants of the Holy Shadow Song clan, and they barely had the ability to reproduce, but they lacked growth resources, and the descendants born by the guide were generally weak.
Without the support of the huge ethnic group, the basic survival resources such as food, medicine, and nutrients suitable for the human body of the Holy Shadow Song became extremely scarce, and for hundreds of years, the clansmen continued to die.
When Nuying encountered them, the Holy Shadow Song civilization that once ruled nearly a hundred galaxies was left with only three or two big cats and kittens, and before the birth of the two siblings, there had been no new offspring in the clan for decades.
Half a year ago, the siblings' father, the last adult of the Shadow Song clan, died of illness, leaving the two of them to live together.
"Do you have a name?" Qin Huang asked.
The girl replied: "My brother's name is Dugu Qingying, and my name is Dugu Yege, both of which are the names that Sister Nuying chose for us. ”
With the extremely harsh living environment of the ghost market, if this pair of immature brothers and sisters is not covered by a big man, they will soon become slave playthings for some guys, and even food!
Fortunately, Nuying lent a helping hand, and through the relationship with the insect man in Guò, they were able to live here safely, and personally taught them the human language, as well as some necessary knowledge.
After a few people talked for a while, Nuying said, "Okay, now go and see your father!" I don't know when I'll come back next time! ”
The Dugu brothers and sisters hurriedly agreed, and after putting away their things, they led Qin Huang and Nu Ying to their residence, which was a stone house with a human architectural style, and the metal sign at the door was engraved with the signature emblems of Nu Ying and the insect man, indicating that this place was concerned by big people.
After entering the door and sitting down, Dugu Yege immediately brought tea and snacks, which made Qin Huang a little surprised.
Dugu Qingying explained with a smile, it turned out that this house was Nuying's property, but during her departure, it was handed over to the two brothers and sisters to live and take care of, so there was no shortage of various living materials suitable for human physique.
Moments later, the siblings led them out of the door, out of the block on a hovering platform, to a desolate and remote place.
It was a cemetery established by Nuying, and there were not too many tombstones in it, and the size added up to about dozens of pieces.
The murmuring of songs echoed in the cemetery, filled with poignant, sad and desolate atmosphere. It's just that Qin Huang listened to it for a long time, and he didn't understand which language it was.
Nuying stopped in front of a purple-black tombstone on the inner side of the cemetery, took out a few sacrifices from the dimensional space bracelet, and placed them on the small stone platform in front of the monument.
“…… Their father was one of the few friends I made in the ghost market,"
Nu Ying's expression was stunned, and she recounted the events of the year faintly:
"At that time, I was here for the first time, because I was not familiar with the rules here, and because I was young and vigorous, I fought with a few difficult guys over one thing! Seriously wounded, it was their father who helped me! ”
"Later, in order to repay this favor, I ran around and managed to get several special medicines necessary for them of the Holy Shadow Song Clan, so that their partners could restore their fertility, and only then did they have the birth of this brother and sister."
"It's just that this approach still can't save the Holy Shadow Song Clan, if you can't find new clansmen in the future, the two of them will be the last remnants of the Holy Shadow Song civilization!"
Qin Huang frowned and said, "The Star Sea World is so big, their clansmen were scattered in all directions back then, there will definitely be descendants left, right?" ”
Nuying shook her head slightly, pointed to a tombstone next to her and said, "You know what? Sleeping here is the last empress of the Thrance Empire, which had fallen ten thousand years ago and was the only one left ten years ago. ”
"The song you heard, the last song she sang before she died, is said to be the most widely circulated epic of the Thranse civilization, but no one understands the meaning of the lyrics anymore!"
“…… I understand! Qin Huang was silent for a long time before he said softly.
"That's good!"
Nu Ying glanced at him with satisfaction and said:
"No matter how powerful and illustrious an intelligent race is, once it comes to an end, it will face no different miserable end! No one will remember their history, their civilization, their glory and splendour! ”
"The reason why I help them do this is just to do my best to prepare for a rainy day for human civilization! Who knows if one day, we humans will become one of the people here? ”
Qin Huang took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "What can I do?" ”
Nuying specially brought him here to see the qiē here, to put it bluntly, it is a special test. After passing guò, it is natural that a more important mission will be entrusted to him.
